Philosophy of Faculty Scholarship

Balance provides me the understanding that research, teaching, nor scholarship should be individually consuming factors of my workload as a member of university community.

Integration of research into the university classroom provides students first-hand experience reading, consuming and creating new theories and practice that aid in guiding their field.

Theory-to-practice provides both opportunities to translate the “ivory tower” theories of the university classroom into the everyday practices of corporate and educational work environments. Without the theory-to-practice step in the learning process, students may never be provided the opportunity to practice the theories and methods that they have learned in the confines of a university classroom.
